During the third quarter (Q3) of the year, Spanish GDP rose by 0.8%, according to the latest data released by the government’s central statistics unit.

The figure was significantly better than in February 2016 when the deficit stood at €1.1 billion. In the 12 monthly run up to February, the current account balance reached an excess of €23.5 billion, a new record over the surplus €22.6 billion reached in January.

Spain’s consumer confidence index soared by seven points in April to 106.7 (on a scale of 0-200), according to a report by the national centre for sociological research (CIS).
